"No need to be polite, we have some connections. When His Highness King Wu returned to the west via Jiangling, His Highness and I hit it off. After getting together, I suddenly realized that there are very few heroes in the world who can defeat His Highness.
Offering wine to the King of Wu as a confidant, it should also be regarded as an extraordinary thing..."
Ma Zhou was stunned. This praise was a bit exaggerated and extremely inappropriate. He was already a little vague about Li Jing's purpose, and now he felt even more wrong. What do you mean by a hero in the world? Only those who can defeat His Highness are rare? If this word reaches people
Your Majesty's ears, it's extremely bad. You may be fine, but I may be in trouble.
He didn't dare to interrupt easily, so he couldn't help but wonder, does the state leader have a grudge against His Highness? Could he want to kill someone with words?
Thinking of this, my heart trembles...
Could it be that King Wu was so great that he made the father of the country jealous?
So he added an additional 120,000 yuan of caution when he spoke, "The Governor and King Wu are both outstanding people. They naturally got along well with each other after they met. Although Mu Xian is a villain, he cannot deserve such praise from the Governor."
Li Jingyou unknowingly frightened (offended) people as soon as he opened his mouth. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There is no need to be humble when offering wine. Those who raise talented people can be teachers for everyone."
Jijiu is still so young. In the future, the land will be filled with peaches and plums, and his achievements will be limitless."
Looking at Li Jing with a smile on his face, Ma Zhou carefully recalled the life of the state leader. Unfortunately, they were all incomplete and untrue rumors.
I just heard that the Grand Governor killed a lot of people when he was serving abroad. Hey, people who have killed a lot of people are praising me, and Ma Zhou's whole back feels cold.
Li Jing spoke politely, although he was praising King Wu both inside and outside his words, as if he had friendship with Du Fuwei.
In fact, when Du Fuwei passed by Jiangling, he did not have any deep contact with Du Fuwei. Even when he received Du Fuwei, he was still thinking in his mind that this man might not live long.
It is too unlucky for a dying person to drink, talk and laugh.
………………
Hey ha, hey ha...
Following the shouts of a group of teenagers, Li Jing stopped.
Chang'an Maritime Academy occupies a large area, with three large campuses and four small campuses. Next to the artificial lake, two shipyards have been built with seven or eight large and small ships.
With the strong support of the imperial court, everything can be done smoothly. It is not as elegant as the academy, but the construction period is estimated to be several times that of the academy.
In view of its large scale, the Maritime College admitted 500 students at once last year. This was still limited by the number of professors in the college, and because the college was just established and had little experience, so it was difficult to recruit a wide range of students.
Otherwise, there would be no problem for thousands of people to enroll.
………………
At this time, a group of teenagers were forming a neat queue on the school field, running back and forth. The teachers were milling around the team, constantly scolding and giving orders.
Most of these teenagers entered school in the spring. They had only been here for a few days. In addition to the necessary cultural classes, they were practicing military formations.
In fact, it is similar to that of later soldiers. No matter who they are, they must first be familiar with military rules and regulations and various drills when they first join the army. The purpose is to cultivate the discipline of soldiers and let them integrate into the military formation, rather than
He is a hot-blooded hero.
The main function of the Fubing system implemented at that time was for this purpose. Every year during the slack time, Fubing people would conduct a period of training. Practical combat skills were secondary. What was important was that once the Fu soldiers were recruited, they could quickly integrate into the army.
Among them, achieve the most basic and effective effects.
Therefore, the military system of the government is obviously better than that of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the mobilization ability has been greatly enhanced, and the combat effectiveness can also be guaranteed to a certain extent.
………………
A teacher gave an order, and the teenagers stopped, quickly organized the team again, and then slapped their young chests hard...
"Huhe..."
Everyone looked up to the sky and roared, like a wolf howling for the first time. After roaring for a while, under the guidance of the teacher, they lined up and went back to study.
Li Jing was very familiar with this. The Tang army was accustomed to using howling sounds to invigorate their blood and increase their momentum during battles, whether they were attacking or winning.
This is a habit inherited from the frontier army. It is not unique to the Tang army. In fact, it was also the case with the armies of the former Sui Dynasty. It can often have the effect of preempting others and making the enemy timid before they fight.
However, Li Jing still likes that after victory, soldiers use it on the battlefield to express their feelings of victory. The majestic military power can even frighten the remaining enemies...
Li Jing stopped and looked at it for a while, then said to Ma Zhou with emotion: "When I was young, I was interested in military affairs, and I was not famous at all. But if there was such a place at that time, Jing would have been one of the young men."
Even though Ma Zhou was wary, he was still a little proud when he heard this. The Maritime Academy has been his hard work in the past two years. It is the biggest thing he has done in more than twenty years of his life.
"The Governor is very virtuous and kind, and he is exactly the kind of person the young people here need to emulate. Since the Governor likes him, if he has time in the future, he might as well come here often and let them see what a true hero is."
Li Jing laughed loudly and patted Ma Zhou on the shoulder without telling anyone else, "You are really qualified as a priest. If you want to find a professor for these young people, just say so. It is our responsibility to educate talented people."
It's a pity. I'm leaving Beijing soon. I'm afraid I won't have the time in recent years. When I come back next time, we can have a good talk. I'm not afraid of making jokes about wine. I'm a good teacher, but I'm afraid of...
Shi Jijiu dislikes my nagging and is not worthy of being a role model."
Ma Zhou was a little surprised, "I don't dare to make irresponsible remarks to the Governor, but I heard that the Governor has just returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Why is he leaving Beijing again?"
The imperial edict had been issued, and Li Jing had nothing to hide, so he smiled and said: "I am going to Donglai to lead the army, and I estimate that I will join His Highness King Wu in Silla in a while.
It is precisely because of this that I came to visit the Maritime Academy before leaving. Although I am familiar with military affairs, I know only a little about water warfare. Now that I have to lead troops to sea, I am very worried, lest I miss something important.
So I came here to ask for advice from Ji Jiu and others, and I hope Ji Jiu will not hesitate to give me some advice."
Ma Zhou suddenly realized, that is to say, as the head of the country, Li Yaoshi has a high and powerful position, how could he come to the Maritime Academy to hang out without anything?
Now that he knew Li Jing's intention, Ma Zhou let go of his worries, and then led Li Jing and Yuen Long to the reception area of the college.
………………
Li Jing was nearly sixty years old, but his thirst for knowledge was still very strong, so he asked Ma Zhou to summon the professors, veterans, boatmen, etc. from the college one after another.
Because of the talk, he simply stayed in the college for three days.
In fact, it was not only for the purpose of becoming familiar with things like water warfare and sea conditions, but also for the purpose of eliminating some troubles in the process of leading troops.
Because when he arrived in Donglai, there must be some navy generals under his command who were listening to his orders. If you don’t know this or that, how can you convince others? Who will you blame if you are fooled?
………………
In just these few days, Ma Zhou was very busy.
On the one hand, there are affairs in the academy, and on the other hand, they have to tell the invited painter about King Wu’s life experience and character. According to Li Keqing’s words, when painting for people, they must not only look like them, but also look like them in spirit, that is, they must embody the person’s essence.
Only when God is integrated into it can it have both form and spirit, and become a satisfying and superior work.
And Li Jing over there also had a lot of demands, and he needed Ma Zhou, the sacrificial wine man, to personally handle them.
After three days, Ma Zhou's head was already very heavy, and he was full of bitterness and wanted to find someone to talk to. He was originally the earth emperor in the academy, but unexpectedly, two grandfathers came to treat him like a grandson.
Where can you go to reason?
Fortunately, Li Jing couldn't stay here any longer and left the college three days later. Li Jing was still a little reluctant to say goodbye.
He has been running around here and there for most of his life, never seeming to stop, so he really likes the environment of the college, so his old habit relapses.
He told Ma Zhou that if there were any obstacles in the future, he could come to Li Jing and try his best to help him. Even if Li Jing was not in the capital, there would still be Wei Jie, Yuen Long and others. Besides, his daughter was the queen... Let
Ma Zhou must not see this outside.
Ma Zhou was overjoyed that he was able to forge some good relationships. Isn't it true that a person like him who has no roots and no foundation lacks personal connections?
………………
After Li Jing left, there was only one ancestor left in the academy. The painting cycle of a great painter is very long, especially good works, which need to be carefully polished. It is common to spend ten or twenty days. For a great painter, one and a half years is not enough.
It doesn't take long to talk.
As soon as Lu Xiangjun saw this posture, he ran away early the next day. After that, he often visited his sisters in prison and sent two maids to serve Li Keqing's food and daily life.
Li Keqing didn't complain. If this thing happened, it would be of great benefit to her. For example, Ma Zhou saw her hard work and promised her to make some sculpture models from the Maritime Academy.
It sounds a bit outrageous to use a famous prostitute as a tool, but Li Keqing is happy to accept it. She also wants to get herself a full-time official like Lu Xiangjun, even if she doesn't work in the Maritime Academy.

This is much more solid than the life of a courtesan. There is no such opportunity in Jiangnan. People say that the literary style in Jiangnan is flourishing, but the more so, the customs are more conservative than those in the north, and are far less open than the folk customs here in the capital.
In fact, there are many reasons for the improvement of women's status in this world. For example, after the war, there were more boys and girls, and some women had no one to rely on, so they became independent.
Then Hu Feng spread to the south, and the Xianbei people ruled the world for a long time and changed many customs and habits.
There are also the representative roles of some outstanding women.
All these factors determine that the openness of the atmosphere in the early Tang Dynasty was the highest among all dynasties, and most women becoming officials also appeared during this period.
Those that were recorded later are only a small part of them. For example, in the pre-Sui Dynasty, there were many female doctors walking around the court, and there were also women in the army. However, there were only a few that could be written down by scholars.
